Relating Mindfulness and Self-Regulatory Processes (2007, background): “Self-control programs have enforced daily regimens of physical exercise ( Oaten & Cheng, 2006c ), regulation of posture ( Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice, 1999 ), studying ( Oaten & Cheng, 2006a ), financial monitoring ( Oaten & Cheng, 2006b ), speech control, and the use of one's nondominant hand ( Gai”
Effortless Self‐Control: A Novel Perspective on Response Conflict Strategies in Trait Self‐Control (2015, background): “As much of self-control research is focused on self-control failure, interventions in for instance the health psychology area have often focused on ‘ strengthening ’ or increasing self-control (Herman & Polivy, 2011; Muraven, 2010; Oaten & Cheng, 2006, 2007).”
Ego depletion and the strength model of self-control: a meta-analysis. (2010, methodology): “Preliminary evidence has been provided by Oaten and Cheng (2006b, 2007), who found steadily decreasing levels of ego depletion within trained participants at multiple time points during an extended training intervention.”
Is There a Downside to Good Self-control? (2009, background): “…in saving—but participants who completed the money course also reported that they began to study more regularly and effectively, became more scrupulous about completing household scores, smoked fewer cigarettes, and seemed to have better self-control in other spheres (Oaten & Cheng, 2007).”
Ethically adrift: How others pull our moral compass from true North, and how we can fix it (2013, background): “…the literature on self-regulation has dominantly studied what depletes our self-control rather than what builds it up (Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996; Vohs, through practice (Muraven, 2010; Oaten & Cheng, 2007) and by finding ways to affirm personally important values (Schmeichel & Vohs, 2009).”
Exploring the Interplay of Trait Self–Control and Ego Depletion: Empirical Evidence for Ironic Effects (2014, background): “…2000), actively suppressing one’s desires will train the self-control muscle and make it more likely that temptation can be actively resisted in the future (Baumeister et al., 1998; Gailliot, Baumeister, et al., 2007; Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice, 1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006a, 2006b, 2007).”
Addiction to mobile text messaging applications is nothing to “lol” about (2014, background): “Just like a physical exercise can strengthen a muscle over time, these self-control exercises can enhance users’ self-control resources over time (cf., Oaten & Cheng, 2006, 2007; Sultan, Joireman, & Sprott, 2012).”
Building a Sustainable Model of Human Energy in Organizations: Exploring the Critical Role of Resources (2012, background): “…using one’s non-dominant hand) can even improve a person’s ability to perform selfcontrol in another unrelated activity (e.g. suppressing stereotypical thoughts) (Gailliot et al., 2007; Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice, 1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006, 2007; Schmeichel, Harmon-Jones, & Harmon-Jones, 2010).”
Self-regulation and personality: how interventions increase regulatory success, and how depletion moderates the effects of traits on behavior. (2006, background): “Their first project (Oaten & Cheng, 2004a) enrolled participants in physical exercise programs for 2 months.”
Self-control training decreases aggression in response to provocation in aggressive individuals (2011, unknown): “…Gailliot, DeWall, & Oaten, 2006; Gailliot, Plant, Butz, & Baumeister, 2007; Hui et al., 2009; Muraven, 2010a, 2010b; Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice, 1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006a, 2006b, 2007), no research has examined whether practicing self-control in an unrelated domain can reduce aggression.”
The strength model of self-regulation failure and health-related behaviour (2009, background): “A number of studies have supported the training hypothesis (Azor Hui et al., in press; Muraven et al., 1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006a, 2006b, 2007).”
Debt out of control: The links between self-control, compulsive buying, and real debts (2015, unknown): “The literature on self-control suggests that training self-control is possible (Baumeister, Gailliot, DeWall, & Oaten, 2006; Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice, 1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006, 2007).”
Building consumer self-control: The effect of self-control exercises on impulse buying urges (2012, background): “Half of the students were randomly assigned to engage in a regular study plan (Oaten and Cheng 2006a) or financial monitoring (Oaten and Cheng 2007) over time.”
Mediator and moderator effects of demands on self-control in the relationship between work load and indicators of job strain (2009, background): “In a more work-related context, Oaten and Cheng (2006) had participants enter a 4-month financial monitoring programme aiming at exercising self-control and increasing regulatory strength.”
